This article about new nuclear bomb production at the Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico is of importance because the same thing is happening at SRS. The “defense” industry is gobbling down billions of dollars in taxpayer money to amp up a new nuclear arms race at SRS and Los Alamos.
SRS has zero experience in plutonium pit production – for new nuclear weapons – and it appears that local tech school graduates may be the ones doing this highly technical work. Fingers crossed for no accidents in handling liquid plutonium inside especially build gloveboxes (with furnaces in them)! Local media in South Carolina has a news blackout on the fact that the state is becoing ground zero for a new nuclear arms race. (We don’t count the extremely biased and unbalanced “articles” placed by DOE/contractors/boosters in a single “news” outlet i n the state. So much for the death of journalism…)
“Local colleges train students to work in a plutonium pit factory, but at what cost?”
